    I think Khan beating Canelo will actually be more impressive.

    Mayweather may be more well rounded but at nearly 40, I'd have to agree with you. On top of that, Canelo is improving and the size disparity.

      Floyd has never been beaten. Ever. Cabell was beaten at least once and had about 4 or 5 close fights and a draw. So...yea. a win over Mayweather is probably the most impressive win anyone could have in the sport right now. But it doesn't matter, Khan isn't capable of bearing either one.

        Canelo simply because the difference in size, strength and power is massive, combine that with a weak chin, it's equivalent to him facing a mountain of kryptonite. Plus I think Khan's style gives him a much much better chance at beating Floyd then it will Canelo.

            Canelo would be more impressive but anyone that beat Mayweather will have instant bragging rights. Too bad Khan will never beat either one.

              In terms of the gravity of the achievement, Canelo because Khan's going up to 155 fighting him at his ideal weight, without acclimatizing to the weight division. It makes Khan the natural underdog.

              In terms of the glory, Floyd because he was the perceived P4P # 1 and for Khan to officially dethrone him would have been monumental from a historical perspective. And he would have done it too, had Floyd not shied away from the challenge.

                People are picking canelo because he has like an 8lbs weight advantage? lol
                Floyd is leagues above Canelo and proved it when he made him look foolish, add to the fact that Canelo had close fights with Trout, Cotto and arguably lost to Lara. Canelo is barely even a middleweight, hes a blown up LMW.

                Canelo is good but people act like he cant be beaten, when he almost lost all his major fights. Floyd is considered not only this eras best but one of the P4Ps best of all time.
                Floyd by an absolute mile

                  Canelo. Why? Because he's a really bad match up for Khan. Floyd is the superior fighter no doubt but styles make fights.

                    There we have it folks, Canelo wins via split decision in the votes.
